Amazing 6 year old jazz

[joshuachan56]

Truely epic! Very talented kid

[classicskid10]

ELEVATOR MUSIC!

[thebusinessman99]

fucking leet



[Drillogicaldrummer]

=)

[tonerxx11]

He keeps a nice clip! The drums sound good and he plays loose and unimpeded by the trade mark "trying to hard", intrusiveness of many older than him. There is however, prima facie, an exploitative element to the scene as it is presented here. But anything for a buck when your busking right? And i bet if you asked him what he'd rather be doing the answer would be 'nothing' or more likely the japanese equivalent. 

[canthinkverywell]

i wish i was asian...so baddd....

[soohyunfanz]

wow. japanese always rule the world with their instruments.

[Jimpaco]

the fact that hes japanese makes him that much more badass

[MICKEYISLOWD]

by the time im his age i want to be working for nasa as well as playin with dizzie G)...

[bigemoney31]

That kid can trade 4's better than most kids I played in high school with.

[stecurran78]

This is child abuse! Subjecting a child to jazz??! It's not right. He should be listening to The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Ga Ga or some other talentless morons at his age.

[1more4carhur]

idk drums seem like they would be a looooot easier to learn as a kid then something like guitar or piano. i still think it's neat but not as impressive as some other kids. sue me, i don't give a shit.

[ImaFez]

@1more4carhur drums r actually pretty, i mean all instruments r hard but the drums u have to deal with first of all reading music, keeping time, syncopation, technique(especially),coordina­tion, independance, speed, and movement around the kit. When u practice all of that it takes a long while and its pretty difficult, but all other instruments r aobut equal in difficulty.

[hckydad]

YEAH MAN!!!!!!!!!  Very nice ..and very tasty fills!! Bravo!!

[exyz4]

good 4 a six yr old

[eric2526623]

good

[imturtle66]

PIMP!

[ConnorEdge]

I want to jam with that kid.

[ralphieboy13]

WTF Why are Asians always so good at instruments.

[bobandtheevilturnips]

@ralphieboy13 i was about to say " asians arent so good at instruments you rasist" until i realised that herman lee from dragonforce is asian...damnit

[ralphieboy13]

@bobandtheevilturnips Herman Lee is a retarded ass clown who couldn't play guitar well enough to shred open a sheet of tracing paper. Dragonforce is a horrible shit stain of music.

[thejazzman8]

@ralphieboy13 i couldn't say it any better

[gulkandi123]

he IS asian

[alvinpinto]

cool

[II8YourCatII]

well he is japenese lol

[bdrummer44]

how could you not drop this kid a dollar if you walked by???

[willpistola]

this is actually amazing, the way he's keeping that hi-hat working through the solo's fucking unreal double stroke fills, this kid is gonna be deep!

[naedsukram]

tasty! amazing.

[1993rens1993]

WOw that;s cool:D

[hellothereimasian]

much respect to this child, im in awe right now haha. although jazz isnt my main focus, and progressive is, i still love to play it, i would one day love to meet him when hes older and see what a max roach or steve gadd hes become

[AntiPirateSquad]

The way the bass player puts his hand in his pocket... lol... so cool... it's probably freezing cold there... it's unheard of elsewhere to put your hand in your pocket between phrases.... brilliant! :o)

[adwes95]

LMAO

[bamdude3]

i wish i was cool as that kid

[spik453]

@bamdude3 i wish i was as good as that kid

[Erik3141592]

OMG! This kids rocks lol!

[tripleguy031]

holy shit nice grip man

[damagecase]

:O!!

[Ideaboy13]

This is so unfair. i'm still working on those swaps, and that little motherfucker is 10 years ahead of me!! xD

[Meatlooaf]

HAHA

[crobilly19]

wow, Have you seen the one where the kid is still in the womb and plays Miles Davis???? !!!!! WOW..

[whathoney73]

[theaggravator]

If I see another "child prodigy" video I'm gonna shit bricks

[Imahaxxor]

Where else but in Asia?

Keep it up musical genius people! :D

[lexiola]

fantastic !!! :)

[evandrums44]

i like his hat

[The4thGuy]

I wish it was more than thirty seconds.

[zarksentinel]

5 years later he will be on the stage .10 years later maybe he will be credit in a lot of artist album.

[dragflamdrummer]

OUUH SHIT

this kid is amazing

[jezza94]

OMG!! amazing.. this kids going to be a very good jazz drummer.

[petrodon]

CARALHO!

And he's ONLY 6 yeras old... Wanna see him 5 years from now!

10/10

[bexysd]

Dont b hard on the child . keep in mind that hes a kid & we are grown-ups so SHUT UP!

[kennydarookee]

fantastic!

[Ideaboy13]

You know what i did? I put my PC next to my kit and put the sound on full stereo, just so i could play with him. Thats how good i think he is and thats how much i love jazz-drummin'. Like it or not.

[ackmarzmenn]

WOW!!! this was some nice jazz man

[jaydude214]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Worldyn]

oh my f'''''' god

[damncoolshit]

hail the master!!!!

[innervision36]

thats cool

[EXYQ]

nice ; )

[Ideaboy13]

Zomg, sounds good like god with a G, you know wha im sayin?

[dragflamdrummer]

ooooo mmyyyyyyy Goddddddddddd

[deputy1229]

Ok.....I am officially putting down my sticks. Jazz is difficult and to actually play and trade fours at that age. I will crawl back under my rock...I'm not worthy.

[jonhattanrai]

Mee tooooo  :-'(

He's amazing!

[stevevai111]

OH MY GOD!!!!.. i've seen some kids doing great shit..but this kid is just insane.. awesome feel and trading fours.. hehe.. everything just keeps getting younger and better

[GOLDSWEAT]

さいこう！

[xmega45x]

my god. that kids drummin is as good as the comeback that that kid came up with when he was called a chiken for not taking drugs.

"what are you, chicken?"

"im not a chiken! your a turkey!!"

this kid is my idol.

[Gisgoaudiogomix]

o my god XD he is a monster XD

[punkystgo]

monster!!!!

WISH i could have done that at 14 yrs old when I learned to drum... U_U

GRREEEAAAT!!!

[Tazrat99]

yes ok i get it now..

fuckin hell..

[dotdadee]

Kid is treading 4's and already has a good grasp on phrasing. Now THAT'S MUSIC!

[Hannu2792]

aaaaw! give that poor kid a better drumset ^^

[CAPTAINOCTAVE]

i acutally thought that kit sounded really good...

[Hannu2792]

the snare and ride maybe too...

but the toms are horrible -.-

[budinas]

niiiiice! :D

[appleman430]

The fact that such a young kid has such a good feel for the jazz time signature is amazing!

[Roflbear16]

lol

[demamchikungya]

this is not fake... this video is not sync...

if i am not mistaken this young jazz drummer called as onitzuka tiger... if i am not mistaken... he also has released his CD... and guiness books of records approve him as the youngest jazz drummer release a CD...

[Tazrat99]

thats so fake.. when you hear the bass the old dude isn't even touching it..

hmm ??

[Jpicc89]

Dude, it's called out of sync. Half the videos on Youtube have audio lag. You can tell at the beginning cause the sound matchs for half a second. And even if the sound is off, anyone with an ounce of musical know-how could tell his movements are dead on. Stop being spiteful and just enjoy the vid.

[ro3DGcks]

maybe cause of the sound isn't syncing with the video totally....seriously what would be the point of faking this

[rustanpatrick]

i'm kinda blown away by this.

[meowtrox]

sugoi

[Sarax18]

lol that kid is a metronome lol

[BandGeekBlurreh]

Dude. Our senior drummer at my high school cant play that good. Nice goin, kid!

[jazzykindagirl]

hez name is Taiga Onitsuka

[nellisonx]

Hmm.. I loved this :]

[thejazzman8]

very talented....will probably get bored with drums and pick up the piano...or sit down at one...

[TechPlanesInc]

@thejazzman8 if he gets bored he can always do death metal, lol

[TheRealBoxman]

Neat!

[yoyoyoimBC]

how is this possible?mindwashing??...yes

[CaljuCotcas]

cool.

[fcdannyg]

Get out of here! Amazing!

[FlyingVHockey]

I dont really care for jaz but that kid is good!

[1happymapler]

lol the sax guy's sax looks like mine

[tacomeet]

....i wish i grew up a music prodigy in japan...

[bigvig57]

Exellent Playing Your Better Then Me!

And Ive Been Playing For 30 Years!!!

[dfurnaridrummer]

very good grip

and he is playing, theres just a nasty lag on the vid

[gingakiddy]

can you not see how he's holding the sticks? i cbf'd with that way b'cause i play rock but meh, and why WOULD 3/4 people go out onto the street to film themselves pretending to play music so they can play more over the top and then put it on youtube? Think about it, tards :P

[skave11712]

God. I hate jazz.

[p0lnareff]

we don't need to know

[DrummerOfTheShadows]

dont watch the video then. your jealous cause this little kid drums better than you.

[skave11712]

Shut up.

[DrummerOfTheShadows]

someones angry cause they got TOLD.

[skave11712]

No you ripped it.

[Xderda]

Have to agree with drummeroftheshadows. really, if you hate jazz, why the fuck are you watching this video? fucking idiot

[skave11712]

Mind fucking off? Asshole

[Xderda]

skave, i asked you a question then, you tell me to fuck off -_- someones angry. Drummeroftheshadows has a point. I dont know why you watch this if you don't like it.

[thangQanime]

You can tell just by the way he handles the stix that he's real. I believe and am 100% positive it is real. And he is very good

[hrolfs]

wow! can that kid be in my band?

I am amazed.

[Reptileman42]

fake.

[adriansmasher]

you say that because ccrholland say it, DUMB-ASS

[ccrholland]

Everyone with 1 eye and 2 braincells can see that this is FAKE. and the bassist must be damn good if he doesn't need to touch his instrument while 'playing'

Don't criticise me because IT CAN'T BE REAL

[kimbalina]

look up taiga drums on you tube and you will see that he is all real...the bassist stopped playing during the drum solo you absolute MORON

[telanis9]

i think he was confused by the fact that the sound is off-sync from the video, but everyone with 2 braincells could figure that out :P

[ccrholland]

I believe you that this kid can play drums. But the recording sounds very profesional (for a cell phone?!), even if it's off-sync it doesn't make sense (look at the bass!!!), and why is the video so short? And how can you possibly mess up the sound so badly?!!

Get a life and find yourself another myth.

[kimbalina]

For GOD'S SAKE! Look up taiga jazz on youtube and you will see like a DOZEN clips of this kid playing....THEN come back and tell me it's not real. This was made on a point and click camera, not a cell phone....If you bothered to do a bit of research you'd see it's for real...

[ccrholland]

see my other reaction: 'I believe you that this kid can play drums.' He IS great..! he has recorded a CD, didn't he? but what I'm trying to say is that the sound just doesn't match with the video (why aren't there crowd or street noises or something?)

[oscarfeiven123]

For all the people who think this video is fake... Go FUCK youselfs u dicks the only reason u think its fake is beacase a six year old can kick ur fucking asses and that its out of time but they arnt gonna play on the streets if they are shit think about it! NOBS

[rashin]

Asians can officially do ANYTHING!

[h0b0p13]

i dont think its fake. it may be. probably not. hes not really that good tho. good for a 6 year old i suppose.

[rotinaj453]

none of you can accept that a litte asian boy is just waaaybetter than you.

the video is just off because it was filmed with a shitty camera, dont be so paranoid you little nerds.

[joedadrummer]

so wat your sayin then is that that piece of railin and all that grass was drawn on seein as if sum1 bigger then him was playin, u wudnt be able to see it?

u fucking bell end

the kid kicks ass

earning some dosh so he is XD

[drumdrumboy94]

the sounds a little off bro doesnt make its fake u little dip shit, not every 1's youtube vid's have nice camera's with a sound system set up, god get of his back plus "Symbal" is spelled Cymbal...

[Mokurentate]

yeah. he hit the symbal (spell?) and it didn't sound. FAKE!

[kimbalina]

Superbike -- at last the voice of reason... Fresh air indeed!

He must be about 10 years old now. I shudder to think how awesome he is now...

[superbike749s]

whatever! that is sooooooo real! that kid is just showing all you other motherfuckers up! taste the fresh air bitches!! you suck! that kid is the next steve gadd, buddy rich! hahahahaha

i love you tube!

[EMG4Life]

pro.

[nocampin]

this is really fake, i dont see how a midget can play when he can barely reach the pedals...its f-a-k-e

[kimbalina]

Whatever! Like I have time to make it up.visit his website and you can see for yourself. I was just walking down the street in kyoto and saw this.

If you don't believe it, that's your loss.

[jazzx251]

Don't watch it and listen to the soundtrack - it's a fake.

[elementboy1234]

it;s torture to hear his tom! but wonderful playing by all members. great future for that kid.

[08chuchu14]

this is soo cute :) lol

[baker2440]

they forced the kid to learn drums and threatened to kill him if he didn't play good by the age of 6!

[blackskullbass]

lolzzzz so true.

[BB246810]

This cat is cool.

[nancyyx]

I'm sure he likes to boogie down on occasion. ;)

[1950jimbei]

A future Tony Williams in the making

[supersimioloco2]

woaaaaaaa the kid was great (for a child of his age is awesome)

[magnum789]

I hate jazz.

[SamuiHakai]

jazz is awesome :p

[gruvpig]

FAKE! The audio doesn't match the video.

[kimbalina]

sigh...we dealt with this ages ago...It is real, the vid didn't synch up, it does happen. search taiga jazz and you can see loads of clips of him.

sigh again

[jazzx251]

No, even out of synch it in no way matches. It sounds like it's recorded in a studio during the 50s and not in the open air as you would have us believe.

Pathetic.

[hahaufell7]

the camera probly sucks. and its only a little bit behind

[truwoman01]

uh dont you know that 70% of youtube videos dont match the audio and video !

[DarkShadowKitsune]

Hehe trust the Japanese to get a six year old jazz drummer :P.

Pretty Pro

[chilliberry]

VERY NICE !

[0hourth]

damn!.. played jazz in 6 years old,he's gonna have a bright future in no time!!

[knash92293]

i loooved the saxaphone great music

[shamrok7]

i was more focused on the kid on the tenor...wow!

[kyjello12]

hes got rhythim hes just young. cant expect everyone to play like a pro when their first starting out.

[foxboy77]

hes not particularly good...

[kimbalina]

you, sir, are clearly a moron.

If you don't think he's good goo visit his website and see more for yourself. His name is Taiga and he's now 8 or 9 years old

[MusikAlfen]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE

[eatme765wes]

hes awsome for his age

[kojidomoto]

Is his name Taiga?

[kimbalina]

yeah his name is Taiga.

[gadzooks63]

be kind to him . . .he is just a kid . .

[stavl]

oh // not special.. when i was his age i was better from him

!!!

[punkknup21]

nice!... but the video is delayed..

[dcrok11]

fake fuck

[shane0jack]

dcrok its not fake, its real...the video is not sinced with the music

[nme30]

hahaha...omg, what are you on about mister ludwig....hahaha, hes 6 yrs old....! i love the way i expect him to roll fast but he does this slow one...its awsome!!!!

[ludwigdrummer777]

this kid sucks!

[drummerguy920]

First off, he's 6 years old. Second, he's not even that bad compared to some older drummers. Third, you're just being a complete downer, trying to drag everyone's ass down.

[bdecorsey]

D*mn! Look at the wrist technique on that kid's right hand!

And his solo licks were spare and tasteful and pretty much in time! Thats a lot more than can be said for most "prodigy" jazz musicians.

[WTU208]

To play with such confidence at 6 is amazing.

[htt101]

i cant figure it out is it fake or not?

[kimbalina]

for the umpteenth time it is not fake the video has synching issues...google taiga jazz or check out my other video of him

[htt101]

i that case this is awsome

[DaViDguitarskillz]

Wow that crazy!!! he's playing jazz!!!!!

that kid has awesome taste already,

i liked that song

[callyjohnwell]

The most impressive thing here is the kid's taste and maturity in music.

That's the first thing that blew me away THEN i heard him play.

[jaffahx]

have u ever considered that its just a 20 yr old midget playing? nah just kidding that kid kickass

[julien2105]

soit c'est pa lui qui joue soit le son est décallé regarder c'est vraiment flagrant. J'espère que c'est pas un fake car sinon c'est vrément débile.

[musiq1001]

daaang

talent

[YorgySchmorgy64]

that's pretty sick

[spamtrashbox]

is that Kyoto????

Little boy Big player
